Heat Lightning

A very short and very personal poem chronicling a night beneath a flickering night sky.

There is a place deep in the night 
A place with only you in my sight 
Far from god and close to none 
I’ll pray away our rising sun 
The car’s still parked beneath the trees 
And you’re still here, right next to me 
Where we twist through sultry savagery 
Broken skin never meant so much to me 
Open the doors and forget the keys 
The old world’s gone, disappear with me 
Let the foolish yearning in my heart be that which will pay 
For I can’t say goodbye to yesterday
